jeff. my best freind who owns it


1987 toyota corolla gts twin cam 16

I found the car at an NTB in manassas. I had seen it there a few times so i assumed someone who worked there owned it. I told my boy jeff to check it out cause he wanted a RWD car so i took him there. We approched the owner. and questioned him about selling it and left a number. the next day he called and jeff purchased it for 900 bucks. that about all its worth but cars in similar condition bring 3 ro 4k all day long because they are so sought after with the whole drift hype.

After purchase he installed a custom made exhaust and intake, spec stage 3 clutch, kazz LSD, 14 x 8 pannasports, lexus HID kit... and a few other things

He is selling me the car for what he has into it which is awesome becuase it is about half of what it could pull on the market. but being that we are awesome freinds, i found the car, i love the car more than him, and that i will keep the car in the family i get it for an awesome deal. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

the rabbit GTI is being sold asap so i can take ownership of the GTS

I CANT WAIT

Hey guys,

Just checked out the problem with the light switch that broke a little while ago.

i replaced the switch and it works fine now, but i noticed burn marks near some of the outlets that lead to the headlights.

The one thing i just need clarification with is that there is continuity between ports 3 and 6; 1 and 2, that just means a constant electrical flow right?

i can have a pic up later, but i don't think that really matters.

the burn marks were mainly in port 3 and 6. could this happen because the foglights are continuously on with the headlights? and/or could this because i've upgraded bulbs to sylverstars with all four?

right now i'm thinking of splicing out the foglights to work with the parking lights

any thoughts?

Do it!

Here is a neat election tool that I found...

This past weekend I completed the MSF BRC. If I had to describe my experience in one word, it would be disappointed. That's not to say its a bad class or anything, I just think my expectations may have been a bit high. Everyone told me that I just have to take the class, its awesome, its great, etc. I would definitely recommend the class to others, especially those that have never ridden before.

Now before I get into what I thought about it specifically, ill share what my previous riding experience is. I bought my first bike, a 94 Seca II, in early October of this year. People told me to take the MSF course before I ride, but looking at my new bike sitting in the driveway I knew that wasn't going to happen, especially since my MSF course was a few weeks away. I put on a pair of boots, a pair of jeans, my leather jacket, leather gloves, and a borrowed shoei helmet from my neighbor. I had never ridden before, but I did have my learners permit. I had also been lurking on certain bike forums, and I knew all about how to ride theoretically, I had just never done it. Anyways, I roll the bike out into the street after it warmed up, and I took off down the street, keeping it pretty slow at first, around 15 mph. I went to the end of the street (dead end), and swung a nice wide u turn, and road back up the street to my house. For the next two or three days I continued practicing riding around my neighborhood, practicing making tight slow uturns, quick stops, and getting used to using both feet and hands to control everything. In a few days everything started to feel natural. I also practiced things like locking up my rear brake. I wanted to get my actual license so my riding would be legal, but first I need to get the bike inspected. I road up to a gas station (my first time out on a main road), got my inspection, and road home without incident, although I was some what nervous. A few days later I road to the DMV to take my riding test and hopefully get my license. It had been a week or so since I got my bike. I had heard from my neighbor that took the test years ago that it was very easy, and involved riding down to the end of the parking lot, turning around, and riding back. Well, they must have changed it in between the time he took his, and when I took mine. The first thing the lady administering the riding test said was "you know this test is hard, right?" The first thing she asked me to do was to make a 90 degree turn inside a box. It didn't have all that extra room on the inside of the turn like the MSF one did. I took one look at that and said to myself it looks like im not getting my license today. Fortunately I was able to negotiate the turn within the lines, so I passed. I then went through the rest of the tests; the slalom, swerve, quick stop, u turn, etc. without any problems, and I received my license. After that I began riding on main roads. I had about 2 or 3 weeks of riding before my MSF course (at least when it wasn't raining or freezing cold).

And that brings me up to this past weekend. Friday evening was the classroom stuff, and I don't think I learned anything new, other then the reason why they say if you lock your rear tire, keep it locked.

Saturday was the first day of riding, and we got started pretty slowly, learning the "friction zone" and various other things. This of course is pretty basic for anyone that has every ridden before. Later on in the day we finally started riding and goin through all the exercises. For both days, not once did they have to stop me to give my advice on anything. Well... that's not entirely true, but ill get to that. I'm not saying I am a perfect rider or anything (I am FAR from it), but I did everything correctly at the course.

The one time I got stopped was on the second day. Both days I had been going through the slaloms pretty fast (after I slowed way down waiting for the person in front of me to gain some distance). I was slowly increasing my speed through them. I guess one of the instructors paid attention to me during one of them, and didn't like what he saw. I was completely in control, but this time was probably the fastest I had taken them all weekend (although it was probably only a mile or two per hour faster then what I had done before). After I came around he stops me and says "You better slow down through there or im gona throw you of my course". I of course slowed down after that, but it kind of pissed me off. I had been going through them at a good speed all weekend, and not once was I asked to slow down, and not once was I out of control. I really have no problem with the fact that he wanted me to slow down, but he didn't need to threaten to throw me off the course. He could have just asked me to slow down.

Anyways, knowing what I know about the course now, I probably wouldn't have taken it. I learned almost nothing, and had no problems with any of the exercises. I'm not saying that it was a total waste of time. I did have some fun, and I am probably a better rider from the practice I got. However, its nothing that I couldn't have accomplished on my own doing the same type of things in a parking lot for an hour or so. I will still recommend this course to anyone that wants to ride. I think the biggest thing I learned this weekend is that those Honda nighthawk seats sucks, and my Corbin seat rocks .

Ok. So the Supra got here at 6 this morning, and it needs some work done:

• Full engine gasket change
  
• Paint the valve cover (yellow has got to go!)
  
• Install hood struts
  
• Valve oil seals (possibly)
  
• Hook up turbo timer
  
• Paint turbo intake pipes (they ugly)
  
• Other misc. shit to be done.

So the Supra is home finally.... Dave and Rex went to get it last night, it only took them 9 hours to make the 6 hour drive to and from Yorktown, but they arrived safely at about 6 a.m. this morning, free of tickets, suprising for those two. I was really excited to see the supra this morning even though I was half awake, now all that needs to be done is to get it running properly.

Whats up everybody, i don't post on here alot but i've been going to the meetings and everybody looks like cool people. i had a fight with a wall and broke my hand :o, so i can't do much work on my car. I was wondering if anybody has the tools to do a valve adjustment on a b18c and could maybe lend them to me and help me out one of these days. :?:
